For once Matton is right: there’s no way full EV’s could get into the WRC without a major downscaling of the events, turning the series into a joke.

Anyway it’s useless to compare a 6 laps/4 minutes WRX race on a circuit of around 1km with the normal length/duration of a WRC stage and suggest that full EV’s are ready for the WRC; they aren’t and they wont be any time soon.Rally addict since 1982

Still seems way more questions than answers for 2022.

“And, from what we see from the early numbers, the battery and motor and all the new parts in the car is going to add a lot of weight. When you also take away the [center] diff and the changes coming in the suspension, I think it could be losing time to an R5 car in some places.”

With a hot version of the 2021 i20, the i20N coming, is it safe to assume Hyundai will also keep the i20 hatch as the 'base car' for the 2022 WRC car ?

If so all 3 manu's are staying with their small hatchbacks.

Engine specs will be frozen in April 2021 for five years, meaning the teams cannot develop their engines during that time.
Also it says M-Sport are not bringing new updated parts yet because they have a stock of old-spec parts that need to be used first. The new engine will come in Monte 2021 and new aero maybe in Sardegna. Sad situation for them.

It's OK, it's a short stage! Remember the FIA and promoter reserve the right to completely fuck over everything we all know, enjoy and understand about this series and sport. Or, maybe they might...
